The outside media believe that the key to the victory or defeat of St. Pauli and Feyenoord lies in Zhen Shaolong's performance, but the situation at the beginning of the game seems to prove that their views are not so accurate.

In the first minute of the game, St. Pauli shrank their defence.

It's normal for St. Pauli to play defensive counter-attacks, but there is something abnormal about the game on the field, because St. Pauli has contracted the defensive line 'too much'.

This is how St. Pauli prepares for the game.

Bergman discussed with the coaching staff how to play the game, and finally chose the most passive, but most effective: retreating, that is, putting up a bucket formation from the start.

When St. Pauli defends, it can be said that it is the 811 formation, with eight people in the backfield being four defenders and four midfielders, the front guard before and after the connection is Luz, and the forward at the top is Zhen Shaolong.

This formation is very extreme.

St. Pauli almost gave up the fight for midfield, as soon as Feyenoord got the ball, he immediately retreated across the line, even if it was a break in the backfield, it was just a big foot, drove the ball to the front, launched a counterattack when he had the opportunity, and let the opponent continue to attack if he didn't have a chance.

Before the game, when Bergman talked to the players about the style of play, he blushed a little, he felt that the style of play was too utilitarian, but he thought that winning was more important, so he resolutely adopted this style of play, not giving Feyenoord any chance, "Victory is the most important thing!" ”

St. Pauli's extreme defense made Feyenoord very depressed, and they didn't expect that at the beginning of the game, they would fall into the vortex of breaking the dense defense.

"Breaking the dense defense" is not easy, St. Pauli almost gave up the midfield scramble, when Feyenoord got the ball, there were three or four players in the penalty area for a long time, and there were players around the penalty area, and the football went to the front, as if there were St. Pauli players everywhere, and it was very difficult to pass the ball into the penalty area, even if it was to attack the penalty area, it was very difficult to find opportunities.

Just 'breaking the dense defense' is actually difficult for Feyenoord.

Many of the league's powerhouses have experience in facing buckets, because 'dense defense' is the only way for a small club to beat a big club.

But......

St. Pauli also has Zhen Shaolong.

Zhen Shaolong stood in front, alone in the breeze, but he was like a thorn stuck in Feyenoord's throat.

Don't vomit, it's not happy!

Theo Lucius spit on Zhen Shaolong more than once, he may not have done it intentionally, let alone deliberately provoked, but Zhen Shaolong made him very uncomfortable, and his teammates in the front court obviously needed support, but he kept hesitating, not knowing whether to attack or not.

"Attack? No, the other party's 13th must be guarded! ”

"Stay behind? Not really...... Teammates need support, and there's nothing to do if you're standing behind! ”

Theo Lucius was really depressed, he was a little envious of Andre Bahia, who was designated by head coach Erwin Coman to keep an eye on Zhen Shaolong, and he was not given a job of playing the game.

What else do the centre-backs need to do?

Defensive only.

That's what Theo Lucius thought before, but now he finds out that he doesn't have a job assigned to the game, and it becomes very embarrassing, he really has nothing to do, as if he has become the worst performer.

Theo-Lucius felt the malice coming from an 'unfair world'.

Like, Andrea Bahia.

Bahia didn't do anything, and since the start of the game, there has only been a pitiful touch of the ball for more than ten minutes, and he still received a pass from the goalkeeper and made a simple connection.

But as long as the opponent's number 13 does not score, the media will definitely praise Bahia's excellent performance after the game.

What about yourself?

If Zhen Shaolong occasionally steps forward to assist and Zhen Shaolong scores, he will also be considered 'not doing a good defensive job' because he is a central defender like Bahia.

Contrarily.

If you don't get an assist, you will be considered 'mediocre' and you will have nothing to do on the court.

The only way to be considered a good performance is to step forward to assist and perform well, and at the same time, Zhen Shaolong also failed to score.

Theo Lucius wanted to fight for this 'opportunity', so he kept looking at Zhen Shaolong to make sure that the other party was not a threat.

Of course it doesn't make sense.

Theo Lucius hesitated for a long time, he could only run in front, did he dare not really step forward, and then stayed behind for a while, his eyes continued to look at Zhen Shaolong halfway, and he looked at the past even more times than Bahia.

Zhen Shaolong was looked at weirdly.

St. Pauli's style of play is very extreme, that is, defending on all fronts, and even taking the initiative to attack very little, if you want to hit the ball to the front, you can only try your luck.

So Zhen Shaolong couldn't get the ball at all.

When Zhen Shaolong was very idle, he simply stood in place and stared at Theo Lucius, because the other party always looked at him inexplicably.

"Who's afraid of whom!"

"Eye killing, you definitely can't, but Lao Tzu may be able to! Maybe Lao Tzu has been watching, and the system will reward a 'eye killing technique'?

Zhen Shaolong and Theo Lucius's eye and heart struggles have officially begun.

————

When Zhen Shaolong stood at the end, playing a game of eye killing with the opponent's central defender, Feyenoord was working hard to score in the frontcourt.

They played very depressed.

'Breaking the dense defense' will be a headache for any big club, and St. Pauli's dense defense is really a bit extreme, and the players have been piled up in the back, repeatedly becoming real defenders.

Back eight......

How else is this ball played?

Under such an extreme defense, Feyenoord's coordination and technology have become clouds in the sky, even if they can change color, it is meaningless, and after a while, Feyenoord has to recognize the reality -

They rely on technology and cooperation, and it is impossible for them to play a chance!

Now it's up to you to be tough!

Tough style of play refers to the kind, the simplest, direct, rough style of play, such as high crosses, forward battles, such as long-range shots, etc., unfortunately, neither of which Feyenoord is good at.

Bergmann would not have been so extreme if the opponent had been replaced by Schalke 04, which has three tall strikers who are best at simple and rough play.

Feyenoord is not going to do it.

Not to mention Bischalke 04, compared to ordinary Bundesliga clubs, they are inferior in terms of 'simple and crude'.

If you fight for technology and cooperation, Feyenoord is not weaker than others. Spell 'simple and crude'......

Feyenoord wants to throw in the towel!

————

The situation on the field is that Feyenoord has been attacking and St. Pauli has been defending.

Feyenoord are on the attacking side and the situation is certainly dominant, but the reporters in the media box know that St. Pauli are in the ascendancy.

First of all, St. Pauli is ahead.

The two-to-three in the first round was enough to support them to continue defending.

Secondly, Feyenoord did not have many ways to 'break down the dense defence'.

Nearly 30 minutes into the game, Feyenoord had only three shots on goal, only one of which hit the woodwork, and was easily held in the arms of goalkeeper Honarev, in other words, Feyenoord had yet to make a direct threat on goal.

If the game goes on like this, even if Feyenoord scores a goal, they will be eliminated by St. Pauli.

Dutch journalists were anxious, and they kept cursing St. Pauli's utilitarian --

"Actually defended from the start!"

"Utilitarian football!"

"They will stop at nothing to win! We should resist this practice! ”

"It's a step backwards in football!"

German reporters are very calm, it doesn't matter how St. Pauli plays, the important thing is that St. Pauli can successfully advance to the round of 16 of the League Cup.

It's the results that matter!

St. Pauli was not counted when it came to 'planning' the German club's European results last summer, with most of the media believing that St. Pauli would be eliminated from the group stage.

St. Pauli qualified as the first in the group, which is already very surprising, and it is definitely an unexpected surprise to successfully enter the round of 16 of the League Cup, which is not worse than Leverkusen, Stuttgart and other middle and upper teams, participating in the League Cup.

That's why the result matters.

St. Pauli's style of play is indeed a bit 'shameless', but the tactics that can win are good tactics, and many German reporters, for the first time, applauded Bergmann's style of play.

Before......

They all just think this guy ...... Good luck!

————

Feyenoord's successive attacks were not good, and they looked a little restless overall.

Theo Lucius and Zhen Shaolong's 'eye killing' failed to fight, and when he saw that he couldn't find an opportunity in the front court for a long time, he had to step forward to assist the offensive and run to the perimeter to do passing and receiving with his teammates.

And then......

Nicky Hoaves gets a steal!

This time it was Theo Lucius's stabbing pass, he received a pass from the right side, and when he saw an opportunity, he poked the ball forward, the force and angle of the pass were there, but Nicky Hoves seemed to want to distribute the ball to the wing with one kick, and he didn't notice Bol rushing behind him, and the ball was poked out by Bol.

Kzmol immediately a big foot!

This time the big foot was about the same as the clearance, but because of the sudden break, Kezmore had time to sweep the front of the field, and the football rushed towards the front.

Theo Lucius sprinted back at a brisk pace, but his pace couldn't keep up with the ball.

The ball rushed over his head.

Zhen Shaolong glanced at the ball and immediately started to walk forward quickly.

Bahia was launched at the same time.

The title of "Standing Warrior" is powerful!

Even if he stood in place for a long time, Zhen Shaolong was still in the best condition, and Bahia was also walking beside him, basically not consuming any physical energy, but his physical and mental state was not at its best.

Zhen Shaolong took advantage of the best state in a short period of time and immediately started to break out and shook off Bahia.

Football games are not about speed, but about explosiveness, high explosiveness, fast rushing, on the contrary, running up to speed in the future is not much meaning.

When the ball hit the grass, Bahia was thrown out of position.

Because the football was smashed in front, Zhen Shaolong didn't even need to stop the ball, it was completely a speed fight with Bahia, he didn't turn on "Attack", he rushed over in one go, and then pressed the ball down with his feet.

Rush further!

Goalkeeper Timmer made an early move.

Zhen Shaolong took two steps forward, and Timmer was already close to the penalty area, and he seemed to want to fight back and forth with Bahia outside the penalty area.

It can only be said that the imagination is rich.

Zhen Shaolong would not miss this kind of opportunity, and after controlling the ball steadily, he glanced at Timmer and immediately got up.

Hanging shot!

The ball flies high, rushes over Timmer's head, and then drops into the goal!

The next moment.

The surrounding stands were completely filled with loud cheers!
